Rancid - Stand Your Ground lyrics

Album: Indestructible (2003)

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one has safe around here,
No one has safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you are the last one in town.

Someone that you trust turned out to be a tricker,
Smoking cigarettes, getting stoned on liquor,
Getting really dizzy, only getting sicker,
Small problems now only seem bigger.
America´s a safe place,
If you are going to leave it,
And the rhetoric is there,
If you are going to read it,
And the hollow masses,
The machines defeated,
And the rich look down to arrive on the bleeding.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one has safe around here,
No one has safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you are the last one in town.

Hardly enough,
It gets tough when you are running,
So you bust out the homeless,
When they start coming,
In LA, Broadway, it is wicked when they are watching,
And your backup & your backup & your backup aint working.
Theres no food, so you are spurred into action,
Set up & go to no satisfaction,
Ice & snow is the city passion,
When you walk in the shadows, girl, theres no protection.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz theres no one safe around here,
No one has safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you are the last one in town.

[(some dude named)-SR talking:]
OK, well,
This is the city of Los Angeles,
And it never sleeps,
It may look like it,
But it doesn´t.
It lives & breathes nocturnally,
So when you have got no place to sleep at night,
And you are all huddled up,
And you are cold,
Well, this song goes out to the city´s forgotten.
Hey, Tim, take us on home....

Underlying reason, well she can not keep it going,
In the middle of the night,
they found her frozen,
And the Wal-Mart sign,
Keeps on glowing,
And the winds of change keep on blowing.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one has safe around here,
No one has safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you are the last one in town.
